What would I do

I often think, 
what would I do
if I didn't have you.

you feel lovely around my waist,
sometimes I forget about you in haste.
I know you might feel misplaced,
but you're special to be replaced.

agree, you hold me up better,
no doubt, you're a trendsetter.
you look great in leather,
my love for you has no measure.

can't get enough of you in any shape,
you feel fantastic when I tighten you like a tape.
don't let me miss you to drape,
I won't let this comfort escape.

many ask me,
why are your pants hanging loose?
I just say, please excuse,
I am looking for my pant belt,
It's an agony heartfelt.

without you,
others can sneak a view.
what would I do
if I didn't have you.

Abhilash,

Sitting here outside on a sunny Sun-Day morning, sipping coffee, gathering my wits that I do hope gemerate sane (rather than senile) thoughts, I found myself taken delightfully prisoner by the hilairity, ingeniousness, and intelligence based wonders of your most blissed and gifted imagination scrawled by artfully flowing pen to reader's page. A true treasure to read and savor

[Abhilash Hegde]

Thank you Marvin for the kind review. I am glad you enjoyed reading it.

[Thomas W Case]

Great use of rhyme and humor.

[Abhilash Hegde]

Thank you Thomas for the review.

Suspenders? Ha-ha! Believe me--no one would like to see my pants fall down. Of all things we might love, a simple belt mustn't be overlooked. Thanks for the laugh, my friend.

[Abhilash Hegde]

Haha! good idea, Suspenders. You're so right a simple belt mustn't be overlooked, its utility is very important. And, this is my tribute to it :) Thanks for reading, Samuel.

The first time I ever read a poem about a belt. lol
This is clever and funny. I haven't worn a belt in years being I've gained a little weight. I'm planning on losing weight so I may need to buy one in the future.
How can I do that now without laughing after reading this. haha

Good one. :)

[Abhilash Hegde]

I'm glad this one made you laugh and you liked it ! Thank you for the review, Relic.

Wow that took a turn but I'm down for the ride. Well done 👍

[Abhilash Hegde]

I hope you enjoyed the ride, LVM :) Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts.

You look great in leather!!! The fact that a real poet can find romantic words from ANYTHING makes me think that words of love are just word acrobatics. I will be angry to the writer for a while:D

But loved it

[Abhilash Hegde]

Thank you for the kind words on the write. You can be angry but hopefully not for long :) Glad you liked it.

[Arundass TP]

I loved poem on presenting pant belt. Excellent writing 👏💯

[Abhilash Hegde]

Thank you my friend for reading and reviewing the write. Glad to hear you liked it!

[Marie]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Laughing heartily, Abhi!!!! Your exquisitely penned poem led me astray! My mind was bent on the romantic element of the poem, I was thinking just how lucky your girlfriend is and then, the unexpected twist! It was soooooo carefully hidden and only revealed in the second last stanza of this WONDERFUL write! Oh, it is a magnificent write inked with great humour and a huge sense of fun! I love it! Thank you so very much for sharing and also for the laugh! I am still giggling, Abhi...

[Abhilash Hegde]

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it well and it made you laugh :) hehe. Thank you for the kind words and describing the way you felt and shared the experience of the poem when you read it. In fact, I must admit - my wife when she read it had the same very reaction, it let her astray and she was happy about me writing it and at the end she was frowning that I had written about my belt, lol! but yeah she enjoyed it too. I'm grateful for such a kind review. Best wishes, Abhi!

[Marie]

Most welcome always, Abhi. Your beloved wife has very good taste in poetry! Very best wishes to you both...

[Abhilash Hegde]

Thank you Marie :)

[Marie]

Most welcome Abhi :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Great humor throughout this write. Don't think I have ever read an ode to a belt! Unique and cute! Lydi**

[Abhilash Hegde]

Haha, never I wrote about my belt but yes finally! :) I'm glad you liked the humor and the write. Thank you much Lydia for the review.
